@SteveJG edited out a link to a screenshot of some blocks in one of my posts saying
Links that automatically download files to a users computer are prohibited.
but I just read the FAQs and TOS and saw no rule saying that. The file was just a normal Discourse image upload, I just removed the !
to make it a link.
For example:
# Image upload

# Link to image
[Screenshot of an old webpage I saw saying "With gimmicks like this, is it any wonder that Word now consumes 120 *MegaBytes* of disk space?"](upload://pEWao1sPlMN05ewopYD0I9Jxv3E.png)
Which renders as:
Image upload
Link to image
Besides, there's no way to automatically download a file to someone's computer, it should give a normal save file dialog. What gives? Is there a rule against linking to files served with content-disposition: attachment;
?
(This was going to be a DM but @SteveJG has them off, though maybe it's better to have such discussion in the open anyway.)
